AfterWindows & Doors Services in Tamiami, FL
Most homes in Tamiami were built before Hurricane Andrew rewrote Florida’s building code, which means a lot of the windows and doors still in service here were never designed for the storms that roll off the Everglades. Ed Winslow has spent the last fifteen years fixing exactly that problem across Miami-Dade, and our crews know every block of the 33184 ZIP. When you call (844) 901-4551, you get a live person, a straight answer about your window or door scope, and a written estimate with no trip charge in the county.

Why Tamiami Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That’s not marketing copy. When a homeowner off SW 8th Street or near Tamiami Park calls, the person who picks up works for Ed, and the crew that shows up is background-checked, uniformed, and already familiar with the masonry rough openings and CBS construction that dominate the neighborhood. We are not a national chain dispatching a rotating cast of subcontractors from a regional office.
Homeowners in the Kendall Drive corridor and around West Dade have called us for jalousie replacements, corroded aluminum frame swaps, and full impact window conversions. The pattern is usually the same: a failed seal, water staining under a sill, or a permit inspection that flagged non-NOA windows. We fix the problem once, correctly, with a product approved for Tamiami’s wind zone, and we stand behind the work longer than most companies have been in business.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Tamiami
Impact Windows
The core of what we do in Tamiami. Every impact window we install carries Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for the specific configuration, and we match design pressures to each opening rather than selling an oversized rating you don’t need.

Window Installation
Proper anchoring in concrete block is not optional here. Our crews flash, seal, and anchor every unit to survive both the wind load and the relentless humidity that rots lesser installations from the inside out.

Window Replacement
If your home still has original aluminum single-pane windows, a simple repair may not be legal once a permit is pulled. We explain the code reality plainly, then install NOA-certified replacements that end the corrosion cycle for good.

Door Installation
Our Door Installation in Tamiami handles entry doors that take the same wind and water pressure as windows. We install Therma-Tru fiberglass and steel systems that hold their seal through hurricane season and shrug off the humidity that warps cheaper frames.
Learn more about our home services for a full list of door options.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Tamiami include impact-rated sliders from PGT and CGI, the most common upgrade for homes with rear patio access. Laminated glass, reinforced frames, and proper sill flashing keep storm water where it belongs.
Call (844) 901-4551 to learn more about our sliding glass and patio door options.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in Tamiami use Low-E coatings and insulated glass to cut solar heat gain through the long cooling season. Most homeowners see a 20 to 30 percent drop in cooling use after replacing older single-pane units.

Why Tamiami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Tamiami sits on the western suburban edge of Miami-Dade, directly against the open Everglades flatlands. There is no urban tree canopy or dense building mass to buffer the wind the way coastal neighborhoods get from high-rise clusters. Storm-driven rain hits west-facing walls and openings at full force, and design wind pressures in this ZIP are severe enough that the permitting office will not accept any window or door lacking Miami-Dade NOA documentation.
Most of the housing stock was built between the 1970s and 1990s using concrete block and stucco, meaning rough openings are masonry and require anchoring and flashing techniques that differ from wood-framed homes elsewhere. Original window frames are typically non-thermally-broken aluminum, which corrodes quickly in year-round humidity. Failed glazing compound, clogged weep holes, and rusted hardware are the visible signs, but the real damage is often hidden: water intrusion into the wall cavity, slowly rotting the framing and inviting mold behind the stucco. And if your home still has jalousie windows on a porch or utility room, a permitted improvement will trigger mandatory replacement with impact-rated assemblies. That code reality catches many longtime owners by surprise.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: A Tamiami Reality Check
Shutters work, but only if someone is home to hang them, and only if the panels didn’t warp in the garage. Impact windows protect your home permanently, with laminated glass that stays in place even when struck, no panels to wrestle onto tracks, and no 45-minute drill before every evacuation. For Tamiami homeowners, the math gets better with lower windstorm premiums after a wind-mitigation inspection, on top of the energy savings from the same units. When you compare the cost of shutters plus the annual labor of deploying them against a permanent install done once, impact glass usually wins within a few storm seasons.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Tamiami
What you’ll actually pay depends on the size of the opening, the frame material, and the product line you choose. As a practical range for Tamiami homes: a standard 36-by-60-inch impact window typically runs $900 to $1,800 installed, while sliding glass doors start around $3,500 and go up based on panel count and glass package. A full replacement of jalousie or single-pane windows on a typical three-bedroom CBS home lands somewhere between $12,000 and $30,000 depending on how many openings and what level of energy glass you want.
| Service | Typical Tamiami Range |
|---|---|
| Single impact window (36″ x 60″) | $900–$1,800 installed |
| Entry door (impact-rated, fiberglass or steel) | $2,200–$5,500 installed |
| Sliding glass / patio door (impact-rated) | $3,500–$8,000+ installed |
| Full-home window replacement (3BR CBS) | $12,000–$30,000 |
| Impact garage door | $3,000–$7,500 installed |
Every estimate is written line-item style before you agree to anything. The price we quote is the price you pay, no change orders, no surprises on the invoice. Call (844) 901-4551 for exact numbers on your home.
Florida Pays Tamiami Homeowners Back
If you’re replacing windows or doors in Tamiami, several programs can take a meaningful bite out of the invoice. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and many Tamiami homes qualify. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit returns 30 percent of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection typically costs $75 to $150 and often leads to windstorm premium reductions averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of your policy.
These programs and carriers set their own final numbers, so we can’t guarantee any specific figure. But we’ll give you honest documentation of every qualifying product and install detail, which is what those programs require for approval.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Tamiami
Most Tamiami homes pay $900 to $1,800 per standard impact window installed and $12,000 to $30,000 for a full-home replacement on a typical three-bedroom CBS house. The range depends on opening size, frame choice, and glass package. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free line-item estimate on your exact scope.
No. Under current HVHZ code, jalousie windows cannot be repaired or replaced in kind once a permit is pulled. Any permitted scope that touches them requires a full upgrade to an NOA-approved impact assembly. We see this on screened porches and utility rooms all over Tamiami, and we’ll explain your options before you commit to a permit path.
No. We quote line-item pricing up front, and that number does not change unless you ask us to expand the scope. No change orders, no added fees, no surprises on the invoice. It’s a promise from Ed, not a sales tactic.
Yes. We handle permits and inspections for every install that requires them, which in Tamiami means essentially all window and door replacements. Our work passes Miami-Dade’s inspection process because we build to the standard every time.
Once your custom units arrive, installation typically takes as little as one day for standard openings. Custom fabrication runs four to six weeks from order to delivery. We’ll give you a firm schedule before you sign, and our dispatch is coordinated from the Miami office with crews already working Tamiami streets.

What Tamiami Customers Say
"A tile roof repair and new windows from the same company meant one crew, one permit runner, and nobody blaming the other trade. Ed checked the roof work himself before the tarp came off."
— Henrietta Pemberton"Our insurance agent asked for the wind mitigation paperwork and Ed had the whole file ready the day the job closed, every opening photographed. The premium conversation went very differently this year."
— Odessa Fairbanks"Three big companies quoted us and every one sent a salesman with a leased truck. Ed turned up in a truck with his own name on the door, quoted less, and his crew were the same faces on day one and day nine."
— Yolanda Betancourt
